What exactly is the Full Settlement Relief under the 'Sweet settlement'? My friend recently woke up to an email saying that his student loans, a little over 150k, has been completely discharged. He submitted an application over 6 years ago is all he'll share with me but wondering if people on the bowl have more intel??

I’ve never heard of this but damn, I wish I did.

"Sweet settlement" is basically a program that allows borrowers to have their student loans discharged or settled for less than the total amount owed, typically after demonstrating financial hardship or defaulting on payments. Your friend's situation likely falls under this category, where his application, submitted years ago, has resulted in a complete discharge of his over $150,000 in loans, reflecting a significant relief for borrowers facing overwhelming debt.

Is the email legit though? I heard they weren't actually doing away with student loans so I am curious if that was actually a legit email.

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
